“We are all caught up in an inescapable web of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.”--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“We seek a world defined by solidarity and understanding, tolerance of dissent, celebration of cultural diversity, an insistence on fundamental, universal human rights, and a belief in the right of people everywhere to have a say in how they are governed. It is a world characterized by the belief that the diversity of human cultures is something to be celebrated, not feared. Such a world demands that we tear down the walls in our own minds — those separating us from them, rich from poor, white from black, Christian from Muslim from Jew — so that we are able to recognize the untold ways in which we can all benefit from cooperation and solidarity across lines of nationality, race or economic development.”

— Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations, October 2002.
